Lipo MIC Prime

Lipo MIC Prime is a lipotropic injectable that combines the classic MIC nutrients (methionine, inositol, and choline) with L-carnitine and vitamin B12 to support fat metabolism and energy during weight management. The MIC compounds help the liver process and export fat, L-carnitine ferries fatty acids into the mitochondria to be burned, and B12 supports energy production and methylation. Bundling several complementary metabolic cofactors into one formulation, it is a convenient, nutrient-based adjunct to a diet-and-exercise program.

Supplement

Magnesium Acetate

Magnesium acetate is the magnesium salt of acetic acid, with the formula Mg(CH3COO)2. It forms white, water-soluble, moisture-absorbing crystals and is used as a food additive, a laboratory buffer, and a source of magnesium. As a dietary ingredient its role is simply to deliver magnesium, an essential mineral, in a soluble form.

Nootropic

Ketone Ester

A ketone ester is an ingestible compound, most commonly (R)-3-hydroxybutyl (R)-3-hydroxybutyrate, that rapidly and transiently raises blood D-beta-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) without requiring fasting or a ketogenic diet [1][2]. By delivering ketone bodies directly, it induces 'acute nutritional ketosis' and provides an alternative oxidative fuel to glucose, with studied applications in endurance performance, metabolic health and cognition [1][3].

Terpene

Nootkatone

Nootkatone is a sesquiterpene ketone that gives grapefruit much of its characteristic aroma and flavour. Beyond its use as a fragrance and flavouring, it is a naturally occurring activator of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), with preclinical evidence for enhanced energy expenditure and protection against diet-induced obesity, and it is also a recognised biopesticide and insect repellent registered with the US Environmental Protection Agency [1].

Supplement

Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin)

Vitamin B2, or riboflavin, is a water-soluble essential vitamin and the precursor of two flavin coenzymes, flavin mononucleotide (FMN) and flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD), that carry electrons through the redox reactions of energy metabolism. Because these flavoproteins sit at the center of the mitochondrial electron transport chain and of fatty-acid and amino-acid oxidation, riboflavin is fundamental to how cells turn food into ATP. Its best-supported use beyond simply correcting deficiency is high-dose prophylaxis of migraine, where topping up a rate-limiting mitochondrial cofactor is thought to shore up the brain's energy reserves. Chronic deficiency (ariboflavinosis) causes cracked lips, a sore inflamed tongue, and skin changes, while supplemental doses harmlessly turn the urine bright yellow-green.
